✨ ocrfeeder — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for the ocrfeeder command, and it's literally a whole document layout analysis and optical character recognition system. yes, that's the official vibe. from the General Commands Manual, no less 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ocrfeeder [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, this manual page documents the ocrfeeder command briefly — that's the official wording, i'm not being lazy, that's canon 🫶

OKAY BUT HERE'S THE TEA 👑 — OCRFeeder: you give it images, and it will automatically outline its contents, figure out what's graphics vs what's text (a whole vibe check for pixels, honestly), and then perform OCR over the text parts. it generates multiple formats, and its main one is ODT. iconic behaviour, no cap.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

🎀 Generic program information

• --version — shows the program's version number and exits. that's it, that's the whole personality 🌈
• -h, --help — shows the help message and exits. your little map, bestie 🗺️

💖 Other options

• -i IMAGE1 [IMAGE2 ...], --images=IMAGE1 [IMAGE2 ...] — adds the images you specify to OCRFeeder after it opens. drop a whole lil lineup of them in there 🖼️✨
• -d DIRECTORY, --dir=DIRECTORY — adds all the images under the directory you specify to OCRFeeder after it opens. yes, all of them. she's thorough 💅

📁 FILES

• ~/.config/ocrfeeder/preferences.xml — OCRFeeder's configurations file. the brain, the memory, the whole diary 🍓

🗂️ FOLDERS

• ~/.config/ocrfeeder/engines/ — folder to hold the engines' configuration files. this is where the engine files live, and honestly they're thriving 🧚
